Sorry, I'm more into Super Sentai, so... Nope.

Oh Okay TimeRobo! Better?

Thanks. Not that I'm too happy about it, though, I've had to many of those to care anymore. XD

Please? I need something to distract me right now.

Ok, Lewis's passing comment in Sonic Unleashed apparently got me something for you: Dynasty Warriors Gundam. A PS3 game initially but it has a Japanese PS2 port with more content.Β en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynasty_β¦

I've kept my eyes on it for a while, but decided to keep it for later, just in case I'd get the means to play the later entries. One reason being that the first game's mostly centered around the Universal Century timeline of the original series (in both the plot and the choice of mechs), and I'm not exactly a big fan of that one.

There's more than one Dynasty Warriors Gundam?
π: 0 β©: 1
I was not aware of that.

If I go for that, I'll most likely pick the second game. But it'll be some time till I do. Right now I've decided to go back to my goal of beating every Extra Stage in Touhou Project games. And here's my current target. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5OEh-β¦

Ok, whatever you say. Is that a more or less desperate goal than my Shadow 100% btw?
π: 0 β©: 1
A lot less boring and tedious, that's for sure. As for desperate, you'd have to decide for yourself. I mean, if you're ready to play the same game over 300 times, you could probably clear those Extra Stages faster than me if you wanted. Of course, if we're talking perfect runs, I'm not even gonna try it in the nearest 10 years.

I imagine it takes 300 tries for some of them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Can't really say. The first Extra Stage I cleared took me a whole month, so has to be over 100 tries, at least. And I just barely made it back then. I'm afraid to imagine how long it'd take me to pull off a perfect run.
And the one I'm currently attempting is said to be one of the hardest Extras in the series. The most difficult part of it is the lives and bombs system of the game, which is fairly different from other entries. To get an extra life you need to grab 5 life fragments, but those only fall out when you defeat an attack of a boss/midboss without dying (1 fragment per attack), meaning I can't even get an extra life before I reach the boss. The bombs are tied to your current firepower, so when you use a bomb, you lose firepower. At maximum firepower you can bomb 4 times (8 if using a specific character and shot type). It's useful against regular enemies, since firepower is relatively easy to restore with items from enemies, but relying on bombs for bosses puts you at a disadvantage since it'll take longer to drain their health.

So it'd probably take even longer, gotcha.

Well, I've got a lot more skill and experience since then, so I'm progressing at a faster rate. But it's still gonna take a while to just clear all Extras for me. And I don't intend to do any perfect runs, performing good enough to outlast the infamous Gengetsu Rape Time was more than enough for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what I mean. It'll still be long and tedious.
π: 0 β©: 1
Long, yeah. Tedious... Well, not sure on that one.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's bound to be at some point, when you have to replay the first phases every time you die on the last one.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, trust me, if you manage to make it that far, but die just a few moments away from victory, you'll either call it quits for the day because of having no strength to continue or just want to keep trying till you no longer can. That's how I would feel, at least.

Can't imagine it being fun anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's because you like to take it easy. It's all about the thrill of challenge.
π: 0 β©: 1
No it's about fun.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, don't forget that in this kind of games the difficulty itself is where you get most if not all the fun from. Sometimes there's just no fun without challenge.
π: 0 β©: 1
I feel you. I wonder what you'd be like playing Kirby.
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably the same as Shantae games, maybe a little worse.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's fun though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it looks a bit slow-paced to me, and it's a bit too nice and happy. I would probably get bored pretty fast.
π: 0 β©: 1
You'd be surprised, I think. Especially in the earlier ones, when you're switching abilities constantly. There are slow games in there, sure, Super Star can get slow, but someone like Adventure or Dream Land 3 is over pretty quick. I recommend you try Squeak Squad, because that's a decent compromise, I find. You can explore and get treasures if you want, but you can also ignore it and just beat the level.

I still haven't gotten over my Nintendo allergy completely, so I can't guarantee I'll try it anytime soon. I've still got a few bullet spammers to put in their place anyway.
But regardless of the gameplay, I still have a lot of issues with the setting, so that would certainly interfere with the overall experience.
π: 0 β©: 1
I still say just give it a shot. You can skip the cutscenes. At least get to the Dedede fight.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, don't expect me to report on it in the nearest future.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wasn't. Just suggesting.
π: 0 β©: 1
We'll see if I get to it, but chances aren't high.
π: 0 β©: 1
Let me know what you're done with your shooters. I'd recommend Kirby: Planet Robobot to you, because that has mechs, but it's on 3DS so emulating might be a pain.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's completely out of reach for me, but I've seen their designs. Not exactly what I'm looking for, I'm afraid.
π: 0 β©: 1
The final boss has it taking over a battleship which is cool. And the Robobot's copy abilities have to count for something?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't seen the actual gameplay, so I'm not sure how they work. But I'm not really a fan of Ride-Armor-like suits they have there, so I'm really not sure how I'd feel about that.
